"ethical" concerns
Waffen SS is concerned about anti semitism
why are you letting your government officials use fucking AI in the first place? that is concerning
The US military is the definition of an organization with more dollars than sense. The DoD is one of Microsoft AI's largest clients, defense companies regularly spit out high cost shitboxes as a jobs program, and they are the least cost effective organization in the world.
Unless you have an explicit whitelist of what's allowed then you have to maintain a blacklist.
Whitelisting technology is how every company I'm aware of works. They only allow whitelisted software because they only use what they are licensed to use. This includes AI.
For software on their computers. They can't stop you from installing Deepseek on your personal phone. They could blacklist the IP so you can't connect on their networks, but they're not going to try whitelisting the entire internet.
There's not that much AI, though. You think it would all be blacklisted. I figured that stuff would be too much of a black box for any government to trust right now.
US military does not want its soldiers using an AI where the US military intelligence can't see and track what their soldiers are looking up.
Makes sense, given the one guy used ChatGPT to plan the Cybertruck thing
He what?
You can run it locally. It has less security concerns than anything by OpenAI.
but then no-one is making any money from it which is unethical
